Buzzy,
your question is rediculous.
Do you really need employees on a blog to tell you to contact a lawyer?
After 32 years, which I am assuming your counting the time from your 06 departure, why not just retire?
Depending on the state your in, you should have already contacted a lawyer and discussed permanent disablility.
Listen, the company has a decision to make, after 32 years and a serious injury (as i am assuming it is), a nerve injury isnt something that heals properly, you should be concerned with your future financially and this you have to discuss with a lawyer, not bloggers.
I wish you luck and better health, but take your advice from professionals.
Peace
